      ***

      Chapter One - Helen

      Helen lay back on the pillow, all her earlier elation gone. She didn’t know how to react. Life seemed too cruel, too unfair. Why couldn’t this have happened before she had slept with him? Before she had made up her mind to take control of her life and her happiness.

      It was hard to imagine she was ever meant to move on and be happy. Of course, she should choose Oliver. But before she had come away with Oliver, she told the girls this was her chance to make a better life for them. She had told her parents the same thing too. Was she supposed to go back and tell them she had chosen a man over their financial security?

      That wouldn't be so bad, if the mess she was already in wasn’t down to being deserted by a man. What right had she to give up the chance of a better life for her and her children? When he might dump her in a couple of weeks. After all, what did she have to give a man who was about to take over the day to day running of a large, well respected, bank? One who flew around the world in a private jet. And was the most handsome man she had ever seen.

      All she had to offer was baggage.

      His hand on her shoulder jerked her back to reality. His voice was gentle when he said, Helen, please don’t shut me out.

      She turned to look at him. Isn’t that what I have to do? Shut you out of my life? Do you honestly think we have a future together, Oliver? It was stupid. A childish dream to think that I could make a man like you happy.

      He smiled at her, and kissed her shoulder, sending tremors through her body. That’s exactly what I was thinking. That it was stupid to think a self-centred man like me could ever make a woman like you happy. That I’d screw it up, and so it would be better to frighten you away. Make you take the job instead.

      She stroked his cheek. You’re not self-centred, Oliver. You could make me happier than I ever thought possible.

      Then let’s make this work. One way or another let’s do this, together.

      But there is no happy ending is there? Either I date you, or I take the job?

      Yes.

      And I have to make this decision based on what I feel right now. After we've just had sex.

      Was it sex, Helen? Or did we make love?

      I don’t know. Oliver. For me it was more than incredible. But you’ve been with so many more partners than me. Women who are so much more experienced.

      And they don’t compare, Helen. And no, I’m not just saying that to get inside you again.

      She laughed, despite her sadness. You hid your romantic side so well.

      That didn’t come out quite how it was supposed to. But I mean it. It was deeper than anything I’d ever felt before. I’m in love with you, Helen. Yes, I have slept with plenty of women. But there is only a few that I’ve ever thought I loved. And there is only one that I’ve actually felt safe enough with to actually tell.

      You don’t have to say that.

      Yes. Yes I do. I want you to know that this is hard for me too. I waited until the business deal was finished before I made a move. I didn’t want to risk you getting hurt. I want you to believe me when I say I didn’t see this coming. I should have, but I didn’t.

      So what do we do?

      Make love.

      She slapped him playfully. I’m serious.

      So am I? He kissed her shoulder, and then her neck, sending her body wild. Let’s forget that phone call happened. We don’t fly back until tomorrow. Why don't we enjoy the present?

      But...

      But what? Technically, you don't work for me any more. And I don't work for the bank until Monday morning. I finished what I came here to do.

      She let his hands roam her body, all the while questioning the words he said. It might be insane, but she wanted to go along with it. If her heart broke into little pieces because they couldn't forge a future together. Then at least she would know she had made the right decision, based on more than one night in his arms. If they made love, spent time together, it might allow her to get to know him better. To see, with a clear head, that he was worth giving up the chance of a new job. That he was worth a voyage into the unknown for.

      If she didn’t, and she ended this now, she would always question her decision. She needed this. She wanted this. And it had been a long time since she had ever done anything because she wanted to. For no one else but herself.

      What telephone call? she asked, playing along.

      Oliver smiled. That’s my girl. His lips covered hers. His hand going to her breast. Stroking her softly, he tweaked her nipple until she groaned against him. Lifting her thigh, to drape it over his leg, he fitted a condom quickly. Then he moved forward guiding himself into her heated sex.

      He took her leisurely, as if they had all the time in the world. Pushing inside her inch by inch. Starting at the corner of her mouth, he kissed along her jawline. His lips moved down to her neck. Trailing along her collarbone, while his hand teased and stroked her skin.

      She pressed herself onto him, needing to feel him deep inside her. He obliged, sensing her need. One hard thrust and he filled her. She sighed against him in contentment while he pressed deeper. He was such a perfect fit, in every way.

      Tears pricked her eyes, but she swallowed hard, chasing them away. She could make this work. If being with Oliver meant sacrificing the job offer, she would. There were other jobs. He made her happy, a thing that had not happened to her for a long time.

      She kissed him. Her hand threading through his hair, and pulling him down towards her. He slipped his hand under her bottom, and pulled her closer. They were touching, their bodies melded together in their lovemaking. Each needing to tell the other in this silent way how deep their need was. He was inside her, and all around her. His hands, his cock, his mouth and his love. In this moment, she felt that love. Acknowledging how much he wanted this. It wasn’t just words.

      He came first, his usual self-control lost as he thrust into her, his seed filling the condom. Straining against her, he impaled her on his cock. His mouth going to her breast, nipping her soft flesh and then sucking her nipple hard into his mouth. He rolled his tongue over the taut bud, unrelenting in his need for her to climax with him.

      He reached between their bodies, and rubbed her clit. Pushing her to the limits, until she finally crashed over the edge. All the tension she had been holding dissipated. Her body lost to the intense sensations he unleashed on her.

      Slowly they came back to the bedroom. He moved slowly inside her, still not wanting
